Tennessee HB2485 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 1 and Title 49, Chapter 3, to adjust funding for local education agencies (LEAs) based on the number of economically disadvantaged students. Beginning with the 2027-2028 school year, if an LEA's funding allocation decreases due to a reduction in economically disadvantaged students, the state will allocate additional funds to ensure the LEA's funding matches the previous year's allocation. This additional funding is state-funded and must be awarded before any other funding adjustments.
